I dont usually write reviews for anything but after reading mixed reviews of the mangroomer (back version) and ordering it I felt that I should add my results to the mix.
First of all, the hair on my back is light to moderate so its not overly heavy or thick by any means, but the mangroomer actually shaved/clipped all of it off neatly and quickly. A lot of people have complained about the red marks it leaves on the skin, but I think thats just because your technique needs improvement. I used short strokes sometimes going back and forth and not pressing down too hard onto my skin when I could help it. After my first time I did have a couple red lines on my back but really because I misjudged an angle or position and I dug the clipper head into my skin harder than I should have. It took me 12 minutes to clear the back hair off completely in just the first attempt.
The great thing about this clipper is that I have used it successfully on my shoulders and the heavier hair on the insides of my thighs as well as my back. Its easy and fast. The only places Id be concerned about guys are the privates and, even though it did an OK job, it still managed to nick a spot in a delicate place because its a bit more heavy duty than you need for the manparts. Id stick with a razor or less intrusive electric product.
One reason I shave is because I am a bodybuilder and I need the muscles unobstructed by hair. I used to have to pay for unpleasant waxing or beg a friend to shave my back. The mangroomer has completely freed me from any of that fuss and now all it takes is a few minutes every couple weeks to get my back smooth and clear of unwanted hair.
Overall Id have to give this thing a big thumbs up and considering its price is less than one waxing session Id recommend it to any guy to at least give it a try. (Just go slow and use a mirror, especially the first time)

This is such a simple idea. Anybody could have marketed it. Too bad it was this company. I hadnt shaved in a while. It was very painful on my long hair. I actually couldnt finish with it. I normally use a beard trimmer. I expected this to have a similiar cutting head. It does not. As long as you keep up you grooming this item should be bearable. I guess I want a little more than that out of a product.

    Easy to use and does what its advertised to do efficiently and quickly. Definitely dry use if most effective. Had no irritation or discomfort. A very useful product that is easy to use & store.

      If you are looking for something to shave your own back with, this is what you want. It is not painful or difficult to use like some other reviewers have said. I actually am ordering my second one from drugstore.com since I lost my first one :(. This product is worth the money no doubt about it.

          I have moderate back hair. Started using my face shaver but couldn't reach it all. Bought another product which was a plastic handle requiring a blade shaver, didn't really want to do that. Had been thinking about taping my face shaver to a broom handle and then this thing came along. Used it twice so far. Seems just like what I need. Handle length is adjustable and can be angled to reach all back areas. I use it with a small hand mirror and my regular bathroom mirror.

              I ordered this product yesterday after reading everyone's reviews here. In my last relationship my girlfriend used to Nair my back for me, but alas all good things come to an end. So when I saw this I thought it was a God send and sure enough once I used it, it was. The product is light and made out of plastic but don't let that fool you. You will thank the makers if you have a lot of back hair, like me, because it took a bit to do the whole thing. The blade is awesome and I even used it to shave my chest (also very hairy) and it did a great job! A tip, try going back and forth with the blade instead of in just one direction (i.e. Kind of like a vacuum). I am really pleased with this product and thank everyone here for helping me make my decision. Sometimes you order something and don't have any user opinions and it is a shot in the dark with some products!

              My son gave me the mangroomer as a gift for fathers day this weekend. I had seen it in Mens Journal last week. Anyhow, I ended up trying it out and I can't understand why I didn't buy it myself when I first saw it. It is great and the easy fix I was looking for. A great thing about shaving off the hair is that I can finally feel my shirts against the skin on my back again. I actually feel a little thinner and just sent my brother one today and he has no idea its coming.

              Hey Nowwww! Heard about the back shaver on Howard Stern and thought it would be key for me this summer. Shaver arrived in only 3 days and it was easy to use. I like the part that it folds up and I can take it with me to the shore. Great product for getting your back smooth.

              I just got this shaver from my chick for her request to have me get rid of my back hair for this summer. Way too funny, but I have always wanted it off so I was cool with it. It works well and it made my back totally smooth. I think it is a good item for anyone else that has back hair and wants this summer to be a little easier to be with their shirt off.
